Seniors and Home Security with Lockking Security Lock

If you're anything like me, any changes in routine can be unsettling.  From a change in a doctors appointment, to an unexpected visit from my grand kids.

I guess as you get older, your ‘Life Box’ seems to become smaller. It feels  more secure when life goes along at the regular daily pace where you have control.

Your home is part of your Life Box.  Changes seem larger as we age. Most changes are fine, of course, but their effects are greater than they would have been, say, twenty years ago.

The most noticeable changes are your home, car and family.  Take your car for instance.  You don’t want anyone breaking into it so you are more cautious where you park, locking it faithfully and perhaps setting an alarm.

The same concerns should apply to your home.  Knowing where all the vulnerable places are in your home and safe guarding them in what ever means you can.

You lock your door every time you leave or return.  You check all the doors at night before you go to bed.  You put sticks in the windows to prevent them from being opened from the outside.  This may seem a little paranoid, but it's basic common sense if you don't want home intrusion.

You can have an alarm system installed, but you have to remember to turn it on and off and it can be costly.  Signs outside your home indicating that you have an alarm system.  Or, possibly a sign indicating you have an unfriendly dog.  Home security can bring a Peace of Mind, particularly in hard economic times.

If you put sticks in your Windows,  that works fine, as they are easy to move, but they can be a problem if you forget to put them in place.

Your doors have their own security with a lock in the handle and a dead bolt lock.  So now you have your Window and Doors covered, there's one main door left except your garage door that is your sliding glass door.

Not every home have them, but most do have a sliding glass door.  Most sliding glass doors have very weak locks.  They can be bumped or “rocked” from the outside and become unlatched.  Of course, high end doors have better locks on them, but there's always a way to unlatch them.  If you have a sliding glass door you might want to raise the sliding door help prevent a burglar from lifting it off the track and accessing your home.  This is done simply by screwing in or out the adjustment screws at the bottom of the door.

After making this adjustment,  you will want to install a Lockking Sliding Glass Door Lock. The Locks are designed to be Easy to Install and Easy to Use.  They are attached to the sliding door and the side jamb.

With back problems prohibiting bending up and down, or perhaps opening and closing your doors from a wheel chair, you’ll want to choose something that aids you in the task.

The Lock is Easy to Install, and, Easy to Use.

Lift Up to Unlock and Push Down to Lock.

The Lockking Sliding Glass Lock can be installed at different heights on your sliding glass door.

In the Locked and Unlocked Position, it is Visible - so you can see that you remembered to lock your door.

Once installed, Lockking Sliding Glass Door Lock will move easily with the door because of its self-adjusting articulating features.

It must be locked from the inside and therefore prevents locking yourself out if properly installed.

Lockking Sliding Glass Door Lock

Being Home Safe and Secure is Peace of Mind.  

When you are away from your home you want to know that you've done everything that you can to keep it secure.

Nothing can stop a determined burglar, but usually they are in and out in a short period of time.  If it's to much work they will leave.  So make  it tougher for a burglar to break in  your home.

Deterrents are what you want.  Alarms are deterrents as are barking dogs, motion detector lights barking dogs.

Alarm systems alert authorities, but there still is a little time before they get to your home, so the burglar, if he knows what he's doing can be gone with the goods before anyone shows up.  I think alarms are great, if you have neighbors that are alert to have a watchful eye.

So what we want to look at are the points of access to your home.  Front Door(s) ,Back Door(s),Garage Door(s),Windows and Sliding Patio Doors.

Windows of course are vulnerable.  Windows generally have pretty good locks, if they are made in the last 20 years.  Front Doors and Back Doors can use dead bolts which are very effective if installed correctly.  Garage Doors can be secured from the inside with a pin on the track to prevent opening.

Now we have the Patio Door or Sliding Glass Door, depending on which part of the country you are in, but still the same door.  These doors can be easy access point.

Some, if not properly adjusted can be lifted up off their track and pushed in, easy access.

This can be usually fixed with a simple adjustment, Click the Here for Instructions.

Most sliding glass door locks don't work well or are weak.  You can place a stick between the door and the side jamb, and that will work, but it can be a pain to deal with, literally, constantly bending over to remove it, forgetting to put it back, children and pets playing with it, it it's not really practical, just a band aid.

Lockkings Sliding Glass Door Lock can be installed at different heights, but the most common is at handle height.

The Lock is attached to the sliding glass door and the side jamb, the only time you need to touch it is when you unlock the door or lock the door.

 A Simply Lift up to Unlock and a Simple Push Down to Lock.

 

 Installed at handle height, the lock will work as a deterrent as well as a security bar.  It's easy to use, so no more bending over to pick up a stick.  

If you have a Pet Door Panel you know that they are difficult to lock.  Lockking makes a Lock for Pet Door Panels.
